With regard to advance votes, the Chair noted that that if a full counting of votes is not carried out on an agenda item, the number of opposing votes and abstaining votes will be recorded in the minutes in connection with the relevant agenda item. However, insofar as opposing advance votes had been presented without counterproposals on such agenda items that cannot be opposed without presenting a counterproposal, such votes would not be formally taken into account as opposing votes to the proposed decision and would not be recorded in the minutes in connection with the relevant agenda item. Votes cast in advance would be included in the voting results if a full counting of votes would be carried out on the item. A summary of the advance votes was attached to the minutes (Appendix 2).
